Not old Medusa's fabled head, Whosedreadful eyes couldturn, 'tis said, The boldest form to stone; E'er quench'd the blaze of myrth, or try'd, With magic spell, the form of pride, Like this aforesaid dun! Hard fares, alas: the luckless wight, Whose steps can neither day nor night, This rude tormentor shun ; Who, at each comer, crook and turn, Where e'er his weary feet so-

urn. Is haunted bv a dun! Ambition drops her busy schemes, Avarice awakes her golden dreams, Blithe wit abjures his fun; Pride sinks her bold aspiring crt, E'en p. rent Genius stoops opp rest, Before the mighty dun! Muse! tell haw oil thy angel song, Has let 1 my captive s ul along, With more than mortal tone; How I entranced whilst thou hat sin'n'd, Have wak'd the sweet cnchantmenf spoil'd, By an intruding dun! Let toil my haggard limbs embrown, Let want and sickness wei;:h me down; Gout, fever, cholic, stone; Give me a said in marriage noose, And e'en Old Nick himself let k)OiC, But save me from a dun! From the Constellation. Washington's Address to Lis Soldiers, Freedom's banner waves cn high, Bids us rudi to victory, Or with glory dare to die On Columbia's plain! Shall the tyrant of the main, Shall Britannia's galling chain, Shall the blood ot freemen blain Call to arms in vain? Hear the hostile cannon roar ! See our country drenched with gore ! Thus shall slaves pollute our shore? No! Columbians, no! Soldiers? by our sacred cause, By our liberty and laws, By a guardian God's applause, Let us meet the foe ! None will court a Briton'ssmile, None will fear his power or guile, None invite him to the spoil Of our liberty. No we will our swords unsheath, And exclaim with latest breath, 'Give me liberty or death !' God has made us free! LIBER FAS. Winchester, Va. July 4 id 19.

We wilTnot purchase, or suffer to be used in our families, any imported liquors, fruits, nuts, or preserves of any kind, unless they shall be required in cases of sickness. 2d. Being convinced, that the practice which generally prevails of wearingsuitsof black as testimonials of respect for the memory of deceased friends is altogether' useless, il nut im

proper, while it is attended with a heavy expense, we will not sanction it hereafter in our families, or encourage it in others. 3d. We will not purchase, for ourselves or our families, such articles of dress as are expensive, and are generally considered as ornamental rather than useful. 4th. We will abstain from the use of imported goods of every description, as far as may be practicable; and we will give a preference to articles that are of the rrowth and manufacture of our own country, when the latter can be procured. 5th. We will not purchase any articles, either ot rood or dress, at prices that are considered extravagant, or that the citizens generally cannot afford to pay; but will rather abstain from rue use of such articles until they can be obtained at reasonable prices. 6th. We will observe a rigid economity in every branch of our expenditures; and will, in all our purchases, be influenced by necessity rather than convenience, and by utility rather than ornament. 7th. We believe that the: prosperity of the country depends, in a great degree, on a general and faithful obseivancc ot the foregoing declaration we therefore promise that wc will adheie to it ourselves, and that we will recommend it to others. I he Society then adjourned till the last Tuesday in September next. W. 1L HARRISON, Chri. A x r i. S T JESSE EM BR EE, Clerk, Cin. Inquiittcr. Latest from EnJand. The ship Higson, Johnson,, has arrived in Hampton Roads in 40 days from Cork. Cork papers have been received to June 26, and London papers to the 20th of June. Captain Johnson states, that an idle rumor prevailed at the time of his sailing, that the; cause of Spain's withholding her signature to the American treaty was, that a negociatioti was pending between Great Britain and Spain for the cession of the Island of Cuba from the latter to the former; and that in the event of the cession of the Fioridas to the United States, without at the same time ceding Cuba to Great Britain, the latter would resort to measures which would place Ferdinand in rather aa unpleasant situation. In the event of the cession of that Issland, however, G. Britain would furnish Spain with a. stipulated number of men to keep possession of the Fioridas, should she desire it, which, would prevent the U. States hereafter from rc-possessiu; them. On the above rumor, by the bye, the London papers are not dlcnt. The Mnrninr Chronicle, of the 16th, ohct vs, that a Muuxtaid ro
